Screw the drama - I went whale watching today (pics)
 

Last Sunday I took a ride to a place I had never been before. Not sure why I had never been or why I turned down that road when I did. When I was there a couple gray whales swam by while I was checking things out. Unfortunately, all I had with me was my p&s. I got one lucky shot, but you could not really tell if it was a whale or the Loch Ness Monster.

I went back today with my Canon Rebel and a tripod, but of course, no whales. There was lots of other activity going on though, so I took advantage of it.

There's drama watching whales? Interesting.

it is nice to see how you enjoy life. Better then all those idiots that only see what is on there screen. Nice pics thanks.

I don't think we will catch that kind of action here. I was talking to a lady that said there were two humpbacks breaching earlier in the morning.

They get a lot of whales there, so I am sure I will catch some on my subsequent visits.

Whales on computer screens is all we have. No, we are not idiots.

Give us time, we will see real whales face-to-face, too.

Yeh I just think that video is the coolest thing. Amazing how smart they are.

Is that Palos Verdes?

Let me know when you are down for a Channels Islands cruise and Beth and I will set it up... whale's even set aside, it's one of our absolute favorite local cruises to shoot off of.

That's worse than the Patterson-Gimlin film.
